Sad what happened in Igoumenitsa, experts worried: This phenomenon was recorded a decade ago

Thousands of fish died en masse in the Drepano lagoon in Igoumenitsa, when around 6 am the water temperature reached 0 degrees Celsius.

The only fish farm of the fishing cooperative located there kept about 370 thousand fish, most of which have come out dead in the lagoon. It is not known the number of fish that have actually frozen to death, other than fish farming, in the lake. This phenomenon also occurred about a decade ago.

According to specialists, in order for this phenomenon not to happen, such winds are needed so that water enters the lagoon from the sea and from there low temperatures emerge. Fish specialists from the fisheries department of the Thesprotian regional unit are at the scene to assess the damage.
